ServUO - Ultima Online Emulation

Sunday at 6PM GMT we will be opening the doors to our Official Shard! This shard will follow closely the development of ServUO so will always have the latest updates.

The shard will be ran professionally and can be considered stable. There will be no wipes, extended down time or any other nasties.

You can find more info about the shard at http://ServUO.net including a countdown to the opening of the shard. If you guys have any questions please post in here and I will answer them. Looking forward to seeing you in game.

Since opening the wiki a few months ago it has largely gone unused. I have no idea why as it was a much requested feature by members of this forum. Because of this I have taken steps to close down the wiki as it was a monthly cost that was not worth bearing due to the fact it was unused. (Yes the addon had a monthly fee)

With that, I have gone ahead and opened in my opinion a much easier to use system for tutorials and documentation in the future. It can be found by clicking the Tutorials link in the nav menu above. I have made a simple tutorial to show the system in action and I really like it: https://www.servuo.com/documents/getting-started-with-servuo.2/

I have archived our old tutorial forums. It will no longer be possible to make threads in them, however you will be able to post in already created tutorials. It is my hope that members will transfer their tutorials to the new system and post future tutorials there.

Unscheduled maintenance had to be done today. This was necessary and is now complete.

In this maintenance I had to revert a lot of settings on our theme. Because of that you may notice some out of the ordinary elements around the site. I have decided to open the site while I work on these little issues as they are not site breaking. I will post back when I feel I have gotten the theme back to the way it was.

1. The black areas carved out of dungeon map areas have z values? Apply textures to the black areas in wind and reveal cool formations.

2. Even though UO Fiddler may say you have like 65000 something art slots. The end of the file is actually 49150. Even though it shows more. Adding art beyond this will never save. Even if it looks like it is saved.

3. You can't have more than 65 frames in a static animation. Adding anymore than that will throw an out of range error.

4. Todd McFarlane the creator of the comic book SPAWN was hired to design original monsters and regions for the game, as well as help shape the story. It was cancelled in 2001 before its release, citing the competitive nature of the massively multiplayer online gaming market—Electronic Arts feared the sequel would harm Ultima Online's subscription numbers. Some of the monsters and art made for the game were later used in the Ultima Online expansion Lord Blackthorn's Revenge.

5. Clicking a cow in game over & over will tip it over and make it cry out.

6. There are 2 hidden mickeys in the cave below Bucs Den.

7. The item in game known as Iolos Lute is a tribute to the man who composed most of UOs music
